Department of Defense in Colorado 5th District (CO-05)

Department of Defense and Colorado 5th District (CO-05) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 097 and congressional district CO-05 meet here. $16,362,769,675.53 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Defense's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Colorado 5th District (CO-05), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments. 4,711 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not an installation map, a platform catalog, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $16,362,769,675.53 by 4,711 yields about $3,473,311.33 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 4,711 awards is a moderately thick Defense file. Volume can hide a few large instruments; the packet does not identify them. Do not treat CO-05's 097 cell as a synonym for every Defense account nationwide. Open Colorado 5th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Defense for agency 097 without a CO-05 filter, Colorado federal spending for every awarding agency in the Colorado extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $16,362,769,675.53.

How USAspending labels Department of Defense

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $16,362,769,675.53 when crossed with Colorado 5th District (CO-05) place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require CO-05 geography. The district hub does not require Defense. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 4,711 awards. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Colorado 5th District (CO-05) did not cause $16,362,769,675.53 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 097 × CO-05 only. This cell is not an installation map, a platform catalog, or a named-contractor file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Geography is CO-05, not a facility map

Colorado 5th District (CO-05) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list CO-05 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Colorado districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 097. Colorado 5th District (CO-05) is not other Colorado districts that also carry agency 097. Same awarding-agency code on a different stamp is a different join.

Colorado federal spending shows how agency 097 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $16,362,769,675.53 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Colorado 5th District (CO-05) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Defense. The district-wide obligation total published here is $24,267,357,419.95; $16,362,769,675.53 is the Defense slice of that denominator.

Commitment totals versus cash paid

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $16,362,769,675.53 is that kind of sum for Department of Defense inside CO-05 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $16,362,769,675.53 as given.

If Colorado 5th District or Department of Defense has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not an installation map, a platform catalog, or a named-contractor file. 67.4% of $24,267,357,419.95 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Share, mean, and what they are not

4,711 awards is a moderately thick Defense file. Volume can hide a few large instruments; the packet does not identify them. Other Colorado districts can host Department of Defense on their own ties. Those dollars are not this CO-05 cell. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $3,473,311.33) and the district share (67.4% of $24,267,357,419.95) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Colorado 5th District and Department of Defense if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Colorado 5th District (CO-05) as more Defense-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 097 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 097 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $16,362,769,675.53 and 4,711 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
